Installation Instructions 1. 2. 3. 4. Raise and safely support the vechile by the frame rails. Using a jack, slightly raise the axle approximately 1”. Remove the shock absorbers. Lower the axle down enough to remove the coil springs. The exhaust tail pipes may need to be removed and/or modified for Shockwave installation. 5. Fasten the new upper shock bracket into the factory shock location using the 5/16” x 1” bolts, flat washers and Nylok nuts supplied.

Ride Height We have designed most cars to have a ride height of about 2” lower than factory. To achieve the best ride quality & handling, the shock absorber needs to be at 40-60% overall travel when the car is at ride height. This will ensure that the shock will not bottom out or top out over even the largest bumps. Measuring the shock can be difficult, especially on some front suspensions. Measuring overall wheel travel is just as effective and can be much easier.
